What War Between England and Riinsla Means, According to a Scotchman How Cleveland Bode With a Crowd of Buffalo Saloon-Keeper.. Special to the Ohio SUte Journal. Washington, Hay 17. Archibald Mc- Kinstry, a gentleman who has a large estate in the northern part of Scotland, is here on a tiait to the United States, his object being to invest moneys in some of the growing towns of the West. Mc- Kinstry is, a man who has a keen insight into national affairs, and his views upon the Anglo- Rassion situation are forcible and seem to be sound. "There is a great .1 .1 ..it, 'AX ,,t t " Mr. McKinatry, "of Gladstone's vacillating aud cowardly policy. The British government is accused of being afraid of war, and of dishonorably backing down from every position it has taken. I wonder if y -nr newspaper writers have any conception of what war means between two such nations as England and Russia. I assure yon it will be no child's play. If the first gun is ever fired it will be a long while before the final articles of peace are signed. We have in Great Britain a million men who are ready and willing to fight for their country. The people of the British empire are willing to tax themselves to an enormous extent to carry on a war with Russia when the time for that war comes. It is very well ior a third party sitting on the fence to say 'Go it, Lion.' or 'Go it, Bear,' as long as be is a safe distance away, and has no fur at stake. Bat to those who are directly interested the utmost caution is essential. The government of the Czar is such that a war would perhaps bea blessing to him. Hecaupay his soldiers in fiat money, and they will be satisfied. A war with England would, in a measure, stop the internal Barlings which constantly menace the peace of the empire. Russia has everything to win, nothing to lose. With us, on the contrary, it is entirely different. While we have a navy that is the greatest in the- world it is not great enough for our diversified interests. We have au army of native and European troops in India of somethiig like three quarters of a million men. Tuis number could probably be doubled inside of the year if necessary, but an Afghan campaign would draw upon our resources to such an extent that we might be endangered elsewhere. Still, it is absolutely certain that the day is not far distant when we tuuit meet the question face to face and decide whether or not we can permit the Russian advance toward our Indian frontier. Gladstone is not cowardly. He is a statesman, however, who does not care to involve himself into a war if it can be avoided. The old man loves his people and tney love mm. while there are many of the jingo variety who are howling at him and insisting upon an immediate declaration of war, the rank and file of the British people are more conservative and do not care to become involved in a war un'U all honorable methods nave failed. Wbiie we may have had the worst of it thus far in a diplomatic way, I do not tbuk that oar government will stand a great deal more, and the indications were when I left London ten days ago that when war finally did come it would find us well prepared." The President's Callers. The President during the last week received even more callers than before. He continues to drive around the outskirts of the city and to the historical points of interest in the vicinity every evening. He usually has some one behind the "seal browns." On Thursday last quite a distinguished party of Buffaloniaus occupied seats in the carriage, hut it is the first time in the history of the government that a President has invited a lot of saloon-keepers to the hospitalities of his carriage. It is estimated that the number of callers upon the postmaster general aggre gates op ward of 500 a day. The corridors of the Interior department have been crowded from morning until night every day daring the past week with Western men anxious to be land receivers or regis ters or Indian agents. John J. Adatns, Democratic congressman from New York, who has offered with the rest of his countrymen from the pomposity of Mr. Vilas, waa heard to remark as he came out of the ante-.oom. after au unsuccessful at tempt to interview that gentleman the other day : "I want one thing in this liie. I want to be on the appropriations committee of the House, and I want to have charge of the postomoe appropriation bill." If Mr. Adams gets will go to the devil. it the service FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Miss Betty Smith of Fentress county is among the moonshiners, now under arrest in Nashville. Miss Betty is described by a reporter as "the very perfection of physical beauty." She is only 21, but she is up to anuiT. For several years past she has been running a "blind tiger" in Fentress county. The blind tiger is a very simple arrangement. Yon walk into tho hallway of Miss Betty's cottage and pull out a drawer neatly fitted to the wall. In the drawer you find the following words written on slips of paper pasted on the bottom of the drawer: Beer, whisky, apple brandy, peach and honey, toddy, sour. You put a dime on either of the words and push the drawer in. When you putl it out again you find in it a schooner of beer or is of liquor. The fair proprietress ot the blind tiger is in danger of becoming quite a belle in Nashville. She has not been sent to jail, but remains in charge ot deputy marshal, who walks about the city with her. Lucky deputy marshal '. How Some Letters are Lost. Loudon Standard. When letters are lost it by no means follows that the postal authorities are invariably to blame. Sometimes it happens that, through culpable carelessness or shere absence of mind on the part of the people who post them, important missives go astray, to the great annoyance of every body concerned. A postman in a north ern town has just given the public the benefit of his own recent experience in this direction, in cne case a gentleman hastily jerked a letter addressed to a business firm in France into the aperture of a letter-box, and left it sticking there. Fortunately the postman was approaching at the moment to clear the box, or the letter might have been stolen by an unscrupulous passer-by, or lost m the street. On another occasion a gentleman, who was running to overtake a friend, made a dash at the letter-box as he rushed past with two thin post-cards, which caught the edge of tbe opening and sprang back upon the pavement. The gentleman was quite oblivious of the accident, and, eager to overtake his friend, was quickly out of sight. In the third case a gentleman was walking down the street with a post card in his hand, and as he drew near the letter-box a man at a shop door gave him an advertisement card. Instead of putting the post-card into the letter-box he caretully posted the adver tisement card, and then deliberately folded the post-card two or three times and threw it into the gutter! The vigilant p stman was passing along at tbe moment and saw the curious blunder, and the post-card was duly rescued from untimely oblivion. The Question of Chance. Harper's Bazar. We may well grant that marriage must hold a more controlling share in a wo man's life than in a man's, because she is anchored by her children, as a man is not. Yet, when we look around us and see tbe enormous number of cases where a wo man either is never married, or is child less, or is left widowed, it is quite evident that there is for her in life other opportunities and duties, and therefore 'chances," besides those determined by marriage alone. And as to the chance, involved in marriage, the more we reduce it to a minimum by care and judgment and good sense the better. There is no surer preparation for misery, one would think, than to accustom a young girl to think of every offer of marriage as a "chance" to be eagerly seized as a fish swallows the bait, without knowing who or what is at the other end of the fishing-line. So long as it is the custom of society for men to ask the momentous question and for women only to snswer it and this custom will probably last, in spite of certain philosophers, forever so long there will be a little more element of chance in the marriage relations oi women than men. Business Before the Sacrament- Philadelphia Times. Some men show curious traits upon their death-bed. Rear Admiral Powell, of the navy, died recently in Washington. s usual some of his relatives are contest ing his will, making claims of undue in fluence, etc. The evidence now being given in this notable case develops the id mariners peculiarities. Kev. JJr. Addison, an Episcopalian minister, with his associate, called to admin ister communion to the old admiral. He was a little shy of the preacher at first, and rather objected to the sacrament being administered. When asked whv he said: "Let's to business first." He called for a blank check, filled it out for 100, signed, and banded it to one of the divines, and then said, in a commanding tone of voice: "Go ahead." (Jommunion was at once administered. and at the close of the prayers the veteran responded with fervor, "Amen." Not long thereafter he passed to his final rest. The War Situation. Ilartiord Tost. "These are the times spoken of in the Scriptures, Ichabod." said Hannah Smiley solemnly, as she picked up the stitches she had dropped. 'War and rumors ot wars, and " same old times. Hannah." replied Icha bod, cheerily. "It's always been so. ever since I was a boy. I don't see anything new in the situation. " Well, you're blind as a bat, Ichabod Smiley. Why, England's got the Soudan. and Russia is at Penjdeh, and Riel in the iNorth west, and "Yes. of course. I know all that: but that doesn't signify. Reil may Winnipeg or two, the Mabdi mav suakim one. and the Russians may ravel the fringe out of the Alghan ' oust then the old lady came in with a wet cloth and bathed Ichabod's head, or there is no telling where he would have brought up. Strike of the Priests The oddest of strikes, one of priests, has taken place in Bulgaria. From some freak, which had its origin in the contention that the priests had vio lated the conditions on which they are paid, the government stopped their pay. The priests thereupon stopped ail christemrjii, marriages and burial serv ices, and for several weeks the extraordi nary spectacle was presented of a total omission of these ceremonies. The people sided with tneir priests and denounced their government, and the latter has now found it prudent to recede from its posi tion andto resume the payment of the cler ical allowances. An immense number of marriages have been crowded into the brief est possible space of time as the first of the ensuing consequences. Two Can Ride on One 1000-Mile Ticket Charleston News. Paul Howes is a Georgia drummer. He was recently traveling in South Carolina and with a fellow traveler purchased 1000-mile ticket. The conductor refused to allow but one of them to ride on the ticket, saying that while it could be issued to two or more parties, only one person could ride on it at one time. Mr. Howes was put off the train about four miles from Wadesborough, and gave notice that he would sue the road for damages. He employed an attorney, but it was not long before the authorities offered to compromise. The ofJVr was accepted and Mr. Howes came off $1000 better off. His walk, four miles to Wadesborough netted him just $ZoU per mile. Fatal Flashes of Electricity. .Lightning has killed 4bUU persons in France since 1835. An equal number have been seriously, though not fatally wounded, and five times as many struck. The hot years were the most fatal, and these are remarkable as having been the best wine seasons. There has not been a single death from lightning in Paris or tbe department of the Seine since 1S64 though there have been many violent storms there during that time. A correspondent says it is curious to note that New York, the scene of so much political activity during tbe last cam paign, should have only about one-third as many newspapers as the State of Penn sylvania. Stormy, cold weather is general throughout Europe. Much damage to crops and property is reported from many places. FROM NORTHERN OHIO. POLITICS ON THE WESTERN RESERVE. Some Bepnblican Candidates for State Offices Found in the Northern Part of the State Payne and Foran. Special Correspondence Ohio State Journal. Akeon, O. May 17, 1885. The coming Ohio campaign bids fair to be one of the most interesting that has been fought for years. There seems to be so general an impression abroad that the Republicans will elect their ticket in Octo ber that tbe attention of everyone is directed mainly to the question who will be nominated by the Republican State convention at Springfield on June 11. Even the Democratic papers and politicians seem to regard this as the most important event of the campaign, and from the amount of attention they are giving it, ' to the exclusion of canvassing the claims and capabilities of aspirants in their own party for nominations, the inference must be drawn that they consider the selection of candi dates by the Republican convention equivalent to the naming of state officers to be elected in October. Indeed so thoroughly do the Democrats seem imbued with this belief, that one and another of the prominent members of that party suggested as available candidates for Govern or, have taken occasion this early in tbe summer to make public declarations that they want no nominations at the hands of the party. Foran and Geddes, two Democrats lately very prominently mentioned in this connection are the most recent instances of Democrats who had the wisdom to keep out of tbe contest. There is an abundance of material for the. Republicans to select from in making up & stale ticket. The place which has so farf received the most attention ib very naturally the first on the ticket, the governorship. Any one of the several gentlemen whose names have been brought forward for this nomination would bring honor to the state by acting as its chief executive. The friends of the respective candidates are very warm in their es pousal of the cause of their favorites, but tbe contest is a good natured one, and will end in the nominating convention. For-aker, Beatty and Kennedy seem to be in the lead at the present time, while any onje of several others mentioned in the same connection may develop sufficient strength before the nomination is made to receive it. Many Republicans in Cleveland would be more than pleased if Hon. AV. G. Rose of that city, who made such a gallant fight tor the lieutenant governorship two years ago, should receive the nomination for Uovernor. 1 hey are not making an active canvass for him, but hope that events may so shape themselves as to brine him the nomination. While in Cleveland I found by conversation with mauy leading Republicans .that most of them were of the same opinion as Hon. John P. Haley, who said, "I would rather see W. G. Rose nominated than any other man in the -Republican party. Still I am not opposed to the renomina-tion of Judge Foraker or anv one of several other gentlemen who have been named for the place. If there is any difficulty in arriving at a choice when the convention meets, the suggestion of Mr. Hose s name as a compromise candidate would prove a happy solution of the difficulty." From present indications Mr. Rose's name is not to be brought before the convention unless some contingency, such as that suggested by Mr. Haley, arises. Cleveland has, however, a candidate for another place on the ticket in the person of Hon. F. J. Dickman, who will un doubtedly receive the support of the Cuyahoga delegation for tbe nomination for supreme judge. Mr. Dickman, as one of the members of the late Supreme court commission, is well known throughout tbe state and in the event of bis nomination would prove a strong candidate. In case Judge Mcll vaine is not renominated it now appears very much as if he would be, however Mr. Dickman will prove a formidable rival for the other aspirants for the honor. It is generally under stood that Mr. Rose will not again accept the nomination for Lieutenant Uovernor, a- d many northern Ohio Republicans wish Hon. George Ford of Geauga county to become a candidate. Mr. Ford has announced, however, that he is not a candidate for this place, but will, if it is tendered him, accept the nomination for senator from bis district to succeed Hon. bimon 1 . Wolcott, who has announced that he will not again be a candidate. Mr. Ford has made a valuable member of the House of Representative?, and the district could not send a better man to the Senate. There has been some talk of Carlos M. Stone, et-q., a prominent Cleveland at torney, becoming a candidate for attorney general, but Mr. Stone has not given the movement bis indorsement. Trumbull county also comes to the front with a candidate for Governor in the per son of ex-senator iVrkius of Warren. He has many friends in this part of the state who are enthusiastic in their dec larations that the convention could make no better choice. Hon. S. 0. Griswold of Cleveland says that Mr. Perkins will prove a strong candidate and would be one of the best men the Republicans could nominate. Some fear that Mr. Perkins might lose strength from tbe fact that he was while in the Legislature one of tbe most earnest advo cates of the Pond law, and Mr. Perkins is said to hold an opinion of this kind himself, but Judge Griswold maintains that this is a subject which will not enter into the campaign and would not injure Mr. Jferkins one iota. Summit county Republicans are pro verbially modest and are not given to swelling the list of candidates by the addition of gentlemen from their midst. This year, however, Summit will have a candidate for the attorney generalship in the perswn of Hon. J. P. Kohler, who is generally well known in the state from his excellent record in the Legislature which so recently adjourned. Mr. Kohler is one of the ablest and most prominent lawyers of Akron, his receipts from his law prac tice being several times larger than the salary attaching to the office of attorney general. He is a German who came to Akron early in life a poor boy, and, while supporting himself by manual labor gained an education in the few leisure hours he couid obtain. Then he began the study of law, and by dint of diligent application to his law bonks succeeded in fitting himself to become an ornament to tbe bar. He is a self-made man, liberal in his views on all subjects, and has the respect and esteem of everyone who knows bim. Mr. George W. Crouse of this city, who will be generally remembered as the gentleman who came so near being nomi nated for Congress by the Republicans of this district last fall, but. was finally defeated by Hon. William McKinley, has been spoken ot as a candidate lor uov-ernor and later for Lieutenant Governor He is not, however, an active candidate for any olhce. Mr. Urouse is one of the leading men in the Buckeye Mower and Reaper Company, and his business inter ests receive more of his attention than any possible political prospects. The Republicans of northern Ohio are fully alive this year, and on every side is found a determination to give the full and hearty support of the party to the party nominees, whether or not northern Ohio men are given place on the ticket, and assist in rolling up the heaviest majority recorded in Ohio since Brough was elected . (Governor. Joe Poe's appointment as appraiser of merchandise of Cleveland has caused a serious conflict between the Democratic brethren in that section of the state. Poe was recommended for the place by Senator Pa ne, while Congressman Foran had a candidate for tbe position in tbe person of Charles Cleveland, a nephew of the President. Now Foran is very wroth and besides telegraphing President Cleveland, protesting against giving Poe his commission, has in circulation among northern Ohio Democrats a protest against Poe's appointment, This has received many signatures. Foran claims that Payne's action in taking a hand in appointments in Cleveland is a violation of the agreement under which the senator was to control the patronage in Republican districts while the Democratic congressmen were to have control of the patronage in their districts. Those Demo crats who were depending on Mr. Foran to obtain positions for them from Presi dent Cleveland are now convinced that they went to the wrong man and are now attempting to make their peace with Senator Payne and secure his influence. Foran was much commended at the time for not mixing in the Payne-Pendleton senatorial contest, but if he had not remained a cool spectator, but had taken off his coat and worked for Payne as Ben LeFevre and other Democratic congressmen did. he might not find himself in his present embarrassing position a Democratic congressman without influence in controlling appointments in his own district. Mean time foe has been to Washington and ob tained hts commission and is hapi JoN Duaw Beat and the Cholera. New York Times. Daniel Draper. Ph.D.. of the meteoro logical observatory at Central park, bas issued a report of registers from his self-recording lnstrumoute, to which are appended the weekly meteorological and death records of New York City for the "cholera year," 1854. In view of the possibility that tbe disease may return during the coming season, the facts presented are f interest. The scourge first appeared in the last days of May, aud for the week ending June 3 twelve deaths out of a mor tality of 41o were attributed to cholera. The weather of the week had been delightful. The temperature averaged 64, and at no time exceeded 77, while five out of the seven days were fair. Tbe epidemic spread so rapidly that for tbe last week in June its victims numbered 78, making a total number of deaths since its breaking out of 202. During the first week in July not a drop of rain fell. The temperature was exceedingly variable, ranging from 69 to 92, with an average of 81. The mortality for the week was greater than for any previous seven days of the vear, reaching 761 deaths, 97 of which were the result of cholera. The third week in July cholera infan tum came to assist in the destruction of life. It was the hottest and dryest week of the year, the temperature reaching a maximum of 94, with not a drop of rain and only two days when the sun was not sinning in all his strength. The deaths for the seven days numbered, from cholera, 183, and from cholera infantum 145. The scourge continued to increase until the first week in August, when it reached its height, with a death record of cholera 302, cholera infantum 141. The decrease thereafter was slow, and for weeks the victims were numbered in the hundreds. Early in September tbe contagion divided itself into cholera, cholera infantum, cholera morbus, diarrhea and dysentery. The weather continued very warm through October, and even in November the temperature averaged as high as 64. The last death from Cholera occurred during the first week of December. An epidemic of scarlet fever followed for a few weeks. with an average resulting death rate of seventeen persons a week. The first four months of the cholera year there was a smallpox epidemic, during which 399 persons died from its effects. The mortality of New York City for the year 18-"4was 29,247. A Market for Old Bats. Hatters' Gazette. The group of islands known as the Nico- bars, situate about 150 miles south of the Andamans, has been but little explored, though the manners and customs of the inhabitants of these islands oiler very interesting peculiarities to the notice of tbe ethnologist. One of the most noticeable of these, and one which seriously affects the trade of the islands, is the passion for old hats, which, without ex ception, pervades the whole framework of society. No one is exempt from it. xoung and old, chief and subject, alike endeavor to outvie each other in the singularity of shape no less than in the number of old hats thev can acquire during their lifetime. On a fine morning at the Nicohars it is no unusual thing to see tbe surface of tbe ocean in the vicinity of the islands dotted over with canoes, in each of which the noble savage, with nothing whatever on but the conventional slip of cloth and a tall white hat with a black band, may be watched standing up and catching fish for his dailv meat, second-hand hats are most in request, new hats being looked upon with suspicion and disfavor. This curious passion is so well known that traders from Calcutta make annual excursions to the Nicobars with cargoes of old hats, which thev barter for cosoa- nuts, the only product of these islands, a good, tall white hat, with a black band, fetching from fifty-five to sixty-five good cocoanuts. Intense excitement pervades the island while the trade is going on, and fancy prices are often asked and obtained. When the bats or cocoa nuts have at Jenirth come to an end. the trader generally lands a cask or two of rum, and the whole population in their hats get drunk without intermission until the rum also comes to an end. It is curious that in those far-away regions so profitable a market should be found for cast-on speci mens of one symbol of civilization. The same yearning after better things in a more advanced stage may be observed in Madagascar, where no officer is content if he can not deck himself out in the tarnished plumage of some long defunct ad miral, general or ambassador. The Creole Girl as She Is. The Argonaut. Who has not heard rhapsodical de scriptions of the Creole girl given oy bard-breathing and thick-lipped enthu siasts her voluptuous liirure. heavy lid ded and languishing eyes, dark hair aud olive and oval face, which she carries about in a please some-one-love-me ex pression? Don t dream about her any more. Coiae and see her. Look at her as she slouches out of a doorway, in a ca'ico wrapper, the pattern and color of which long ago ceased to be obvious, and drags herself along to the adioinintr house to gossip with another beauty. Mark how the heels of her slippers have been vigorously run down" till there is no after-Bectiou at all to speak of, and then follow the squat figure up to the head. The face is always an interesting one. but seldom beautiful Almost invariably the mouth is large and the teeth prominent, but the Chin is dim pled and small. The cheek-bones are high, the eyes dark and the skin is coarse and greasy, often covered with ill-laid streaks of powder. She is clever, though, when she talks and often very bright, and has the same idea of honor as her lackadaisical sister has on the other side of town. In this respect the girls of New Orleans are all alike they will never brook familiarity from a comparative stranger, and their street manners are severe and proper in the highest degree. Unce the ice broken, however, they rush to a finish at headlong speed. Jo men to whom they have not been properly introduced they are ice ; to the men they know they are gushing, flopping and effusive even in public. Some Startling Statistics. Moat people, if told that in twenty-six years moi e residents of Massachusetts committed suicide than fell in battle during the entire war, would characterize tbe statement as absurd. Yet the registration report of the state shows that 1246' Massachusetts soldiers fell in battle during the rebellion and in service on the plains, 1861-80, while from 1857 to December 31, 1883, 3024 suicides were recorded. This dreadful total does not comprehend sudden deaths which every one is morally certain are suicides, but which are never-legally established to be such. THE WHf AT CROP. Review of the Estimates on tho Yield of 1880. The following observations on tha wheat situation are from the weekly cir cular of Henry Clews & Co., the well-known bankers of New York. They seem to present the case very fairly, and the calculation is probably as nearly cor rect as can be made : "At this season of the vear reports as to the condition of the growing crop of wheat and the spring plaining are always, conflicting, and excessive estimates as to tbe damage or as to the aggregate output, should be expected and calculated upon. The yield this year 'will, beyond doubt, be considerably reduced as compared with last year. 'The present condition of wheat is worse than in 1883. It is 77 per cent., against 96 last year aud against 80 in 1883. In 1881, tho year of lowest recent rate of yield, the condition on April 1 was 85 and serious ioss was sustained afterward.' The government estimate places the probable output for the pres ent year as likely to be 203.670.000 bushels, but a decrease of 93.000.- 000 bushels as compared with tbe production of winter wheat in 1884, announcing at the same time that tbe probable decrease in the spring wheat area will be 10 per cent. Reliable private estimates, however, indicate a greater decrease in the aggregate. The causes of tbe probable reduction are due mainly to the unfavorable weuuier daring ibu Uiitinj st-HNon. pausing Blow aud feeble germination, a winter without sufficient snow to protect the roots from heavy winds and the severe cold nights of this late spring. Much wheat in the Ohio river valley will be plowed up and some other crop planted in its stead. The progress in spring plant ing as indicated by our advices in mi ua-luth is favorable, aud the weather conditions equal to, if thev do not surpass, those of last year. The Northwestern district is as yet undeveloped, and promises in time to be the savior of the wheat crop in the event of winter killing in the territory now known as the wheat belt. "The surplus of the crop of 1884 is vari ously estimated from 75,000.000 to 100,- 000,000 bushels, and until recently specu lators operateu ou me nuuei mui mis would equalize tbe crop of 1885. with its reduced vied, and make it sufl'n-ient for all requirements. Even now this is an open question and tends to prevent violent fluctuations, considering the very grave character of the recent advices. The condition ot tue f.tiropeau crops, except in central Europe, is favorable, particularly for the Eug ish. The Indian ield is set down as having been 260.000,-000 bushels, against estimated require ments of 235,000,000 bushels. The movement from the Baltic ports has increased considerably, and since January 1 from Odessa has been 6,750,000 bushels or 1,500,-000 busbels greater than for tbe corre sponding period last year. "The average price i.r English wheat in 1S7 towns in England and Wales last week was o4 shillings, ataiust3 last year, and 41 shillings in 1883. At the corresponding dates June wheat in New York wa $1.0:2 in I880, il.Ui in 188-1, aud Sl.' in 1883. The movement tow ant points oi accumulation in this country from July 28, 1884, to May 2, 1885, as compared with last year, has been 90,500,000 busbels against 61,370,000; meanwhile the visible supply is 18,000,000 greater. As to the future ot values, they will probably be made by the legitimate demand aud supply situation, aud however great may be the reduction in the yield, with the apparent excei-s in requ rements over last year, a market must be found outside of America for a large part of the product. While speculation is likely to establish a higher market, it can not be maintained unless these conditions prevail. There are many elements to in fluence prices, which will not be determined until harvest." In view of the foregoing it is likely that the present unsatisfactory and unsettled condition of business in general will continue until, by the natural adjustment of supply and demand in every line, the country gets again upon its normal and healthy business plane. ;ON14 FKOM I1K.NCK. A German Colonel Sellers Who is Wanted Very Uadly. Several people of Columbus are anxious to know where they can lay their hands violently upon a young man who travels under the name of Dr. O. Hauck. He is a German who is very much of the type of Colonel Mulberry Sellers, a visionary and a dreamer, with great schemes and a tongue able to make them appear plausible. Mr. Hauck had been in Columbus some weeks before his sudden and myste rious disappearance t i nlay or Saturday. He bad mauaued the roller skating drill corps of the Pugh Videttes, and the very successful appearances of thoxe accomplished warriors at the Park rink and at Newark were made under his auspices. He had, in fact, completely won tbe confidence of the company, and thev had advanced him $50 for which they now mourn as those who have not hope. Another scheme of Lhe departed doctor was the Turkish bath racket, lie seems to have had some skill in administering hot steam and the other comforts of the lurkish bath, and was adept at what he called the massage treatment. At anv rate, he made several very reputable physicians of Columbus think he was something great on rubbing patients for various complaints, and they recommended him. He went with these recom mendations to Mrs. Hanna, the lady who keeps the Turkish bath-rooms on East Long street, near Fourth, and proposed to buy her out. This was a week ago Satur-dav. She desired to learn the art of the "massaue" treatment aud he kindly agreed to teach her fur 5100. She paid him 525, and had almost completed arrangements to sell her place to him, he to pay lor it as last as ne made mo oey enough, the lessons to count for $100. But friends who had heard something of him persuaded Mrs. Hanna to pause be fore uivinic up the key. In the meantime the doctor bad distributed bills all over the city setting forth the wonderful effect of his method of administering Turkish baths. Several customers called, but the doctor did rot appear. This went on all last week. Mrs. liauna slid not receive her lessons, and when she called at his boardinii-houte on bouth trout street Saturday she found that he had lied. Two more parties regret the doctor's sudden leave-taking. One is the manager of the Carlsbad Ladies' orchestra aud the other is the manager of the fark rink. Dr. Hauck had engaged tbe orchestra to play at the rink tonight, for which he was to pay $30. Hprr Sand, the manager, had made partial arrangements to leave today with his musicians, but at some expense and trouble put them off and had everything ready to stay. The Park rink people, counting upou the engagement, will also lose considerauie Dy menon-appearance of the doctor. The hero of this true tale seems to have added to his other accomplishments the blandishments of the masher. At the boardiua-house which was honored with his patronage ho succeeded in impressing the cook to such an exieni mat sne iook down the stocking in which she had been keeping her hard earned savings and showered it all upon him S15. It should be said to his credit that he paid this back again just before leaving. To a Bad Knd. Mamie Walker and Clara Brecholder wero arrested by Officers Bercaw and Collier late last night, charged with being drunk and disorderly. The Brecholder srirl has been in Madam Scolield's house , . :i i : -1 . i Out one wees, ana wan one a gin nigmy respected in social circles in this city. She has rapidly lowered herself, and it 18 to be hoped that her arre9t last nfaht will bring her to her right senses. The names given above are, of course, assumed. OUie and Lizzie Watson, two denizens of South Seventh street, were run in by Bercaw and Collier for louering last night. TBE WKA1 IIKK.

ixt Journal VOL. XLVI. NO. 118. COLUMKU8. MONDAY MORNING, MAY 18, 1885. ESTABLISHED 1S1 1. flatly hio A PLEA FOK GLADSTONE. NOT SUCH A COWARD AS HE LOOKS. What War Between England and Riinsla Means, According to a Scotchman How Cleveland Bode With a Crowd of Buffalo Saloon-Keeper.. Special to the Ohio SUte Journal. Washington, Hay 17. Archibald Mc- Kinstry, a gentleman who has a large estate in the northern part of Scotland, is here on a tiait to the United States, his object being to invest moneys in some of the growing towns of the West. Mc- Kinstry is, a man who has a keen insight into national affairs, and his views upon the Anglo- Rassion situation are forcible and seem to be sound. "There is a great .1 .1 ..it, 'AX ,,t t " Mr. McKinatry, "of Gladstone's vacillating aud cowardly policy. The British government is accused of being afraid of war, and of dishonorably backing down from every position it has taken. I wonder if y -nr newspaper writers have any conception of what war means between two such nations as England and Russia. I assure yon it will be no child's play. If the first gun is ever fired it will be a long while before the final articles of peace are signed. We have in Great Britain a million men who are ready and willing to fight for their country. The people of the British empire are willing to tax themselves to an enormous extent to carry on a war with Russia when the time for that war comes. It is very well ior a third party sitting on the fence to say 'Go it, Lion.' or 'Go it, Bear,' as long as be is a safe distance away, and has no fur at stake. Bat to those who are directly interested the utmost caution is essential. The government of the Czar is such that a war would perhaps bea blessing to him. Hecaupay his soldiers in fiat money, and they will be satisfied. A war with England would, in a measure, stop the internal Barlings which constantly menace the peace of the empire. Russia has everything to win, nothing to lose. With us, on the contrary, it is entirely different. While we have a navy that is the greatest in the- world it is not great enough for our diversified interests. We have au army of native and European troops in India of somethiig like three quarters of a million men. Tuis number could probably be doubled inside of the year if necessary, but an Afghan campaign would draw upon our resources to such an extent that we might be endangered elsewhere. Still, it is absolutely certain that the day is not far distant when we tuuit meet the question face to face and decide whether or not we can permit the Russian advance toward our Indian frontier. Gladstone is not cowardly. He is a statesman, however, who does not care to involve himself into a war if it can be avoided. The old man loves his people and tney love mm. while there are many of the jingo variety who are howling at him and insisting upon an immediate declaration of war, the rank and file of the British people are more conservative and do not care to become involved in a war un'U all honorable methods nave failed. Wbiie we may have had the worst of it thus far in a diplomatic way, I do not tbuk that oar government will stand a great deal more, and the indications were when I left London ten days ago that when war finally did come it would find us well prepared." The President's Callers. The President during the last week received even more callers than before. He continues to drive around the outskirts of the city and to the historical points of interest in the vicinity every evening. He usually has some one behind the "seal browns." On Thursday last quite a distinguished party of Buffaloniaus occupied seats in the carriage, hut it is the first time in the history of the government that a President has invited a lot of saloon-keepers to the hospitalities of his carriage. It is estimated that the number of callers upon the postmaster general aggre gates op ward of 500 a day. The corridors of the Interior department have been crowded from morning until night every day daring the past week with Western men anxious to be land receivers or regis ters or Indian agents. John J. Adatns, Democratic congressman from New York, who has offered with the rest of his countrymen from the pomposity of Mr. Vilas, waa heard to remark as he came out of the ante-.oom. after au unsuccessful at tempt to interview that gentleman the other day : "I want one thing in this liie. I want to be on the appropriations committee of the House, and I want to have charge of the postomoe appropriation bill." If Mr. Adams gets will go to the devil. it the service FIFTY YEARS AGO. Semi-Centennial Anniversary Celebration f Market Street Baptist Church In Zunes vltle The Exercises. Special to tne Unlo State Journal. Z asesville. May 17. Today has been a memorable one in the church history of Zanesville.

Miss Betty Smith of Fentress county is among the moonshiners, now under arrest in Nashville. Miss Betty is described by a reporter as "the very perfection of physical beauty." She is only 21, but she is up to anuiT. For several years past she has been running a "blind tiger" in Fentress county. The blind tiger is a very simple arrangement. Yon walk into tho hallway of Miss Betty's cottage and pull out a drawer neatly fitted to the wall. In the drawer you find the following words written on slips of paper pasted on the bottom of the drawer: Beer, whisky, apple brandy, peach and honey, toddy, sour. You put a dime on either of the words and push the drawer in. When you putl it out again you find in it a schooner of beer or is of liquor. The fair proprietress ot the blind tiger is in danger of becoming quite a belle in Nashville. She has not been sent to jail, but remains in charge ot deputy marshal, who walks about the city with her. Lucky deputy marshal '. How Some Letters are Lost. Loudon Standard. When letters are lost it by no means follows that the postal authorities are invariably to blame. Sometimes it happens that, through culpable carelessness or shere absence of mind on the part of the people who post them, important missives go astray, to the great annoyance of every body concerned. A postman in a north ern town has just given the public the benefit of his own recent experience in this direction, in cne case a gentleman hastily jerked a letter addressed to a business firm in France into the aperture of a letter-box, and left it sticking there. Fortunately the postman was approaching at the moment to clear the box, or the letter might have been stolen by an unscrupulous passer-by, or lost m the street. On another occasion a gentleman, who was running to overtake a friend, made a dash at the letter-box as he rushed past with two thin post-cards, which caught the edge of tbe opening and sprang back upon the pavement. The gentleman was quite oblivious of the accident, and, eager to overtake his friend, was quickly out of sight. In the third case a gentleman was walking down the street with a post card in his hand, and as he drew near the letter-box a man at a shop door gave him an advertisement card. Instead of putting the post-card into the letter-box he caretully posted the adver tisement card, and then deliberately folded the post-card two or three times and threw it into the gutter! The vigilant p stman was passing along at tbe moment and saw the curious blunder, and the post-card was duly rescued from untimely oblivion. The Question of Chance. Harper's Bazar. We may well grant that marriage must hold a more controlling share in a wo man's life than in a man's, because she is anchored by her children, as a man is not. Yet, when we look around us and see tbe enormous number of cases where a wo man either is never married, or is child less, or is left widowed, it is quite evident that there is for her in life other opportunities and duties, and therefore 'chances," besides those determined by marriage alone. And as to the chance, involved in marriage, the more we reduce it to a minimum by care and judgment and good sense the better. There is no surer preparation for misery, one would think, than to accustom a young girl to think of every offer of marriage as a "chance" to be eagerly seized as a fish swallows the bait, without knowing who or what is at the other end of the fishing-line. So long as it is the custom of society for men to ask the momentous question and for women only to snswer it and this custom will probably last, in spite of certain philosophers, forever so long there will be a little more element of chance in the marriage relations oi women than men. Business Before the Sacrament- Philadelphia Times. Some men show curious traits upon their death-bed. Rear Admiral Powell, of the navy, died recently in Washington. s usual some of his relatives are contest ing his will, making claims of undue in fluence, etc. The evidence now being given in this notable case develops the id mariners peculiarities. Kev. JJr. Addison, an Episcopalian minister, with his associate, called to admin ister communion to the old admiral. He was a little shy of the preacher at first, and rather objected to the sacrament being administered. When asked whv he said: "Let's to business first." He called for a blank check, filled it out for 100, signed, and banded it to one of the divines, and then said, in a commanding tone of voice: "Go ahead." (Jommunion was at once administered. and at the close of the prayers the veteran responded with fervor, "Amen." Not long thereafter he passed to his final rest. The War Situation. Ilartiord Tost. "These are the times spoken of in the Scriptures, Ichabod." said Hannah Smiley solemnly, as she picked up the stitches she had dropped. 'War and rumors ot wars, and " same old times. Hannah." replied Icha bod, cheerily. "It's always been so. ever since I was a boy. I don't see anything new in the situation. " Well, you're blind as a bat, Ichabod Smiley. Why, England's got the Soudan. and Russia is at Penjdeh, and Riel in the iNorth west, and "Yes. of course. I know all that: but that doesn't signify. Reil may Winnipeg or two, the Mabdi mav suakim one. and the Russians may ravel the fringe out of the Alghan ' oust then the old lady came in with a wet cloth and bathed Ichabod's head, or there is no telling where he would have brought up. Strike of the Priests The oddest of strikes, one of priests, has taken place in Bulgaria. From some freak, which had its origin in the contention that the priests had vio lated the conditions on which they are paid, the government stopped their pay. The priests thereupon stopped ail christemrjii, marriages and burial serv ices, and for several weeks the extraordi nary spectacle was presented of a total omission of these ceremonies. The people sided with tneir priests and denounced their government, and the latter has now found it prudent to recede from its posi tion andto resume the payment of the cler ical allowances. An immense number of marriages have been crowded into the brief est possible space of time as the first of the ensuing consequences. Two Can Ride on One 1000-Mile Ticket Charleston News. Paul Howes is a Georgia drummer. He was recently traveling in South Carolina and with a fellow traveler purchased 1000-mile ticket. The conductor refused to allow but one of them to ride on the ticket, saying that while it could be issued to two or more parties, only one person could ride on it at one time. Mr. Howes was put off the train about four miles from Wadesborough, and gave notice that he would sue the road for damages. He employed an attorney, but it was not long before the authorities offered to compromise. The ofJVr was accepted and Mr. Howes came off $1000 better off. His walk, four miles to Wadesborough netted him just $ZoU per mile. Fatal Flashes of Electricity. .Lightning has killed 4bUU persons in France since 1835. An equal number have been seriously, though not fatally wounded, and five times as many struck. The hot years were the most fatal, and these are remarkable as having been the best wine seasons. There has not been a single death from lightning in Paris or tbe department of the Seine since 1S64 though there have been many violent storms there during that time. A correspondent says it is curious to note that New York, the scene of so much political activity during tbe last cam paign, should have only about one-third as many newspapers as the State of Penn sylvania. Stormy, cold weather is general throughout Europe. Much damage to crops and property is reported from many places. FROM NORTHERN OHIO. POLITICS ON THE WESTERN RESERVE. Some Bepnblican Candidates for State Offices Found in the Northern Part of the State Payne and Foran. Special Correspondence Ohio State Journal. Akeon, O. May 17, 1885. The coming Ohio campaign bids fair to be one of the most interesting that has been fought for years. There seems to be so general an impression abroad that the Republicans will elect their ticket in Octo ber that tbe attention of everyone is directed mainly to the question who will be nominated by the Republican State convention at Springfield on June 11. Even the Democratic papers and politicians seem to regard this as the most important event of the campaign, and from the amount of attention they are giving it, ' to the exclusion of canvassing the claims and capabilities of aspirants in their own party for nominations, the inference must be drawn that they consider the selection of candi dates by the Republican convention equivalent to the naming of state officers to be elected in October. Indeed so thoroughly do the Democrats seem imbued with this belief, that one and another of the prominent members of that party suggested as available candidates for Govern or, have taken occasion this early in tbe summer to make public declarations that they want no nominations at the hands of the party. Foran and Geddes, two Democrats lately very prominently mentioned in this connection are the most recent instances of Democrats who had the wisdom to keep out of tbe contest. There is an abundance of material for the. Republicans to select from in making up & stale ticket. The place which has so farf received the most attention ib very naturally the first on the ticket, the governorship. Any one of the several gentlemen whose names have been brought forward for this nomination would bring honor to the state by acting as its chief executive. The friends of the respective candidates are very warm in their es pousal of the cause of their favorites, but tbe contest is a good natured one, and will end in the nominating convention. For-aker, Beatty and Kennedy seem to be in the lead at the present time, while any onje of several others mentioned in the same connection may develop sufficient strength before the nomination is made to receive it. Many Republicans in Cleveland would be more than pleased if Hon. AV. G. Rose of that city, who made such a gallant fight tor the lieutenant governorship two years ago, should receive the nomination for Uovernor. 1 hey are not making an active canvass for him, but hope that events may so shape themselves as to brine him the nomination. While in Cleveland I found by conversation with mauy leading Republicans .that most of them were of the same opinion as Hon. John P. Haley, who said, "I would rather see W. G. Rose nominated than any other man in the -Republican party. Still I am not opposed to the renomina-tion of Judge Foraker or anv one of several other gentlemen who have been named for the place. If there is any difficulty in arriving at a choice when the convention meets, the suggestion of Mr. Hose s name as a compromise candidate would prove a happy solution of the difficulty." From present indications Mr. Rose's name is not to be brought before the convention unless some contingency, such as that suggested by Mr. Haley, arises. Cleveland has, however, a candidate for another place on the ticket in the person of Hon. F. J. Dickman, who will un doubtedly receive the support of the Cuyahoga delegation for tbe nomination for supreme judge. Mr. Dickman, as one of the members of the late Supreme court commission, is well known throughout tbe state and in the event of bis nomination would prove a strong candidate. In case Judge Mcll vaine is not renominated it now appears very much as if he would be, however Mr. Dickman will prove a formidable rival for the other aspirants for the honor. It is generally under stood that Mr. Rose will not again accept the nomination for Lieutenant Uovernor, a- d many northern Ohio Republicans wish Hon. George Ford of Geauga county to become a candidate. Mr. Ford has announced, however, that he is not a candidate for this place, but will, if it is tendered him, accept the nomination for senator from bis district to succeed Hon. bimon 1 . Wolcott, who has announced that he will not again be a candidate. Mr. Ford has made a valuable member of the House of Representative?, and the district could not send a better man to the Senate. There has been some talk of Carlos M. Stone, et-q., a prominent Cleveland at torney, becoming a candidate for attorney general, but Mr. Stone has not given the movement bis indorsement. Trumbull county also comes to the front with a candidate for Governor in the per son of ex-senator iVrkius of Warren. He has many friends in this part of the state who are enthusiastic in their dec larations that the convention could make no better choice. Hon. S. 0. Griswold of Cleveland says that Mr. Perkins will prove a strong candidate and would be one of the best men the Republicans could nominate. Some fear that Mr. Perkins might lose strength from tbe fact that he was while in the Legislature one of tbe most earnest advo cates of the Pond law, and Mr. Perkins is said to hold an opinion of this kind himself, but Judge Griswold maintains that this is a subject which will not enter into the campaign and would not injure Mr. Jferkins one iota. Summit county Republicans are pro verbially modest and are not given to swelling the list of candidates by the addition of gentlemen from their midst. This year, however, Summit will have a candidate for the attorney generalship in the perswn of Hon. J. P. Kohler, who is generally well known in the state from his excellent record in the Legislature which so recently adjourned. Mr. Kohler is one of the ablest and most prominent lawyers of Akron, his receipts from his law prac tice being several times larger than the salary attaching to the office of attorney general. He is a German who came to Akron early in life a poor boy, and, while supporting himself by manual labor gained an education in the few leisure hours he couid obtain. Then he began the study of law, and by dint of diligent application to his law bonks succeeded in fitting himself to become an ornament to tbe bar. He is a self-made man, liberal in his views on all subjects, and has the respect and esteem of everyone who knows bim. Mr. George W. Crouse of this city, who will be generally remembered as the gentleman who came so near being nomi nated for Congress by the Republicans of this district last fall, but. was finally defeated by Hon. William McKinley, has been spoken ot as a candidate lor uov-ernor and later for Lieutenant Governor He is not, however, an active candidate for any olhce. Mr. Urouse is one of the leading men in the Buckeye Mower and Reaper Company, and his business inter ests receive more of his attention than any possible political prospects. The Republicans of northern Ohio are fully alive this year, and on every side is found a determination to give the full and hearty support of the party to the party nominees, whether or not northern Ohio men are given place on the ticket, and assist in rolling up the heaviest majority recorded in Ohio since Brough was elected . (Governor. Joe Poe's appointment as appraiser of merchandise of Cleveland has caused a serious conflict between the Democratic brethren in that section of the state. Poe was recommended for the place by Senator Pa ne, while Congressman Foran had a candidate for tbe position in tbe person of Charles Cleveland, a nephew of the President. Now Foran is very wroth and besides telegraphing President Cleveland, protesting against giving Poe his commission, has in circulation among northern Ohio Democrats a protest against Poe's appointment, This has received many signatures. Foran claims that Payne's action in taking a hand in appointments in Cleveland is a violation of the agreement under which the senator was to control the patronage in Republican districts while the Democratic congressmen were to have control of the patronage in their districts. Those Demo crats who were depending on Mr. Foran to obtain positions for them from Presi dent Cleveland are now convinced that they went to the wrong man and are now attempting to make their peace with Senator Payne and secure his influence. Foran was much commended at the time for not mixing in the Payne-Pendleton senatorial contest, but if he had not remained a cool spectator, but had taken off his coat and worked for Payne as Ben LeFevre and other Democratic congressmen did. he might not find himself in his present embarrassing position a Democratic congressman without influence in controlling appointments in his own district. Mean time foe has been to Washington and ob tained hts commission and is hapi JoN Duaw Beat and the Cholera. New York Times. Daniel Draper. Ph.D.. of the meteoro logical observatory at Central park, bas issued a report of registers from his self-recording lnstrumoute, to which are appended the weekly meteorological and death records of New York City for the "cholera year," 1854. In view of the possibility that tbe disease may return during the coming season, the facts presented are f interest. The scourge first appeared in the last days of May, aud for the week ending June 3 twelve deaths out of a mor tality of 41o were attributed to cholera. The weather of the week had been delightful. The temperature averaged 64, and at no time exceeded 77, while five out of the seven days were fair. Tbe epidemic spread so rapidly that for tbe last week in June its victims numbered 78, making a total number of deaths since its breaking out of 202. During the first week in July not a drop of rain fell. The temperature was exceedingly variable, ranging from 69 to 92, with an average of 81. The mortality for the week was greater than for any previous seven days of the vear, reaching 761 deaths, 97 of which were the result of cholera. The third week in July cholera infan tum came to assist in the destruction of life. It was the hottest and dryest week of the year, the temperature reaching a maximum of 94, with not a drop of rain and only two days when the sun was not sinning in all his strength. The deaths for the seven days numbered, from cholera, 183, and from cholera infantum 145. The scourge continued to increase until the first week in August, when it reached its height, with a death record of cholera 302, cholera infantum 141. The decrease thereafter was slow, and for weeks the victims were numbered in the hundreds. Early in September tbe contagion divided itself into cholera, cholera infantum, cholera morbus, diarrhea and dysentery. The weather continued very warm through October, and even in November the temperature averaged as high as 64. The last death from Cholera occurred during the first week of December. An epidemic of scarlet fever followed for a few weeks. with an average resulting death rate of seventeen persons a week. The first four months of the cholera year there was a smallpox epidemic, during which 399 persons died from its effects. The mortality of New York City for the year 18-"4was 29,247. A Market for Old Bats. Hatters' Gazette. The group of islands known as the Nico- bars, situate about 150 miles south of the Andamans, has been but little explored, though the manners and customs of the inhabitants of these islands oiler very interesting peculiarities to the notice of tbe ethnologist. One of the most noticeable of these, and one which seriously affects the trade of the islands, is the passion for old hats, which, without ex ception, pervades the whole framework of society. No one is exempt from it. xoung and old, chief and subject, alike endeavor to outvie each other in the singularity of shape no less than in the number of old hats thev can acquire during their lifetime. On a fine morning at the Nicohars it is no unusual thing to see tbe surface of tbe ocean in the vicinity of the islands dotted over with canoes, in each of which the noble savage, with nothing whatever on but the conventional slip of cloth and a tall white hat with a black band, may be watched standing up and catching fish for his dailv meat, second-hand hats are most in request, new hats being looked upon with suspicion and disfavor. This curious passion is so well known that traders from Calcutta make annual excursions to the Nicobars with cargoes of old hats, which thev barter for cosoa- nuts, the only product of these islands, a good, tall white hat, with a black band, fetching from fifty-five to sixty-five good cocoanuts. Intense excitement pervades the island while the trade is going on, and fancy prices are often asked and obtained. When the bats or cocoa nuts have at Jenirth come to an end. the trader generally lands a cask or two of rum, and the whole population in their hats get drunk without intermission until the rum also comes to an end. It is curious that in those far-away regions so profitable a market should be found for cast-on speci mens of one symbol of civilization. The same yearning after better things in a more advanced stage may be observed in Madagascar, where no officer is content if he can not deck himself out in the tarnished plumage of some long defunct ad miral, general or ambassador. The Creole Girl as She Is. The Argonaut. Who has not heard rhapsodical de scriptions of the Creole girl given oy bard-breathing and thick-lipped enthu siasts her voluptuous liirure. heavy lid ded and languishing eyes, dark hair aud olive and oval face, which she carries about in a please some-one-love-me ex pression? Don t dream about her any more. Coiae and see her. Look at her as she slouches out of a doorway, in a ca'ico wrapper, the pattern and color of which long ago ceased to be obvious, and drags herself along to the adioinintr house to gossip with another beauty. Mark how the heels of her slippers have been vigorously run down" till there is no after-Bectiou at all to speak of, and then follow the squat figure up to the head. The face is always an interesting one. but seldom beautiful Almost invariably the mouth is large and the teeth prominent, but the Chin is dim pled and small. The cheek-bones are high, the eyes dark and the skin is coarse and greasy, often covered with ill-laid streaks of powder. She is clever, though, when she talks and often very bright, and has the same idea of honor as her lackadaisical sister has on the other side of town. In this respect the girls of New Orleans are all alike they will never brook familiarity from a comparative stranger, and their street manners are severe and proper in the highest degree. Unce the ice broken, however, they rush to a finish at headlong speed. Jo men to whom they have not been properly introduced they are ice ; to the men they know they are gushing, flopping and effusive even in public. Some Startling Statistics. Moat people, if told that in twenty-six years moi e residents of Massachusetts committed suicide than fell in battle during the entire war, would characterize tbe statement as absurd. Yet the registration report of the state shows that 1246' Massachusetts soldiers fell in battle during the rebellion and in service on the plains, 1861-80, while from 1857 to December 31, 1883, 3024 suicides were recorded. This dreadful total does not comprehend sudden deaths which every one is morally certain are suicides, but which are never-legally established to be such. THE WHf AT CROP. Review of the Estimates on tho Yield of 1880. The following observations on tha wheat situation are from the weekly cir cular of Henry Clews & Co., the well-known bankers of New York. They seem to present the case very fairly, and the calculation is probably as nearly cor rect as can be made : "At this season of the vear reports as to the condition of the growing crop of wheat and the spring plaining are always, conflicting, and excessive estimates as to tbe damage or as to the aggregate output, should be expected and calculated upon. The yield this year 'will, beyond doubt, be considerably reduced as compared with last year. 'The present condition of wheat is worse than in 1883. It is 77 per cent., against 96 last year aud against 80 in 1883. In 1881, tho year of lowest recent rate of yield, the condition on April 1 was 85 and serious ioss was sustained afterward.' The government estimate places the probable output for the pres ent year as likely to be 203.670.000 bushels, but a decrease of 93.000.- 000 bushels as compared with tbe production of winter wheat in 1884, announcing at the same time that tbe probable decrease in the spring wheat area will be 10 per cent. Reliable private estimates, however, indicate a greater decrease in the aggregate. The causes of tbe probable reduction are due mainly to the unfavorable weuuier daring ibu Uiitinj st-HNon. pausing Blow aud feeble germination, a winter without sufficient snow to protect the roots from heavy winds and the severe cold nights of this late spring. Much wheat in the Ohio river valley will be plowed up and some other crop planted in its stead. The progress in spring plant ing as indicated by our advices in mi ua-luth is favorable, aud the weather conditions equal to, if thev do not surpass, those of last year. The Northwestern district is as yet undeveloped, and promises in time to be the savior of the wheat crop in the event of winter killing in the territory now known as the wheat belt. "The surplus of the crop of 1884 is vari ously estimated from 75,000.000 to 100,- 000,000 bushels, and until recently specu lators operateu ou me nuuei mui mis would equalize tbe crop of 1885. with its reduced vied, and make it sufl'n-ient for all requirements. Even now this is an open question and tends to prevent violent fluctuations, considering the very grave character of the recent advices. The condition ot tue f.tiropeau crops, except in central Europe, is favorable, particularly for the Eug ish. The Indian ield is set down as having been 260.000,-000 bushels, against estimated require ments of 235,000,000 bushels. The movement from the Baltic ports has increased considerably, and since January 1 from Odessa has been 6,750,000 bushels or 1,500,-000 busbels greater than for tbe corre sponding period last year. "The average price i.r English wheat in 1S7 towns in England and Wales last week was o4 shillings, ataiust3 last year, and 41 shillings in 1883. At the corresponding dates June wheat in New York wa $1.0:2 in I880, il.Ui in 188-1, aud Sl.' in 1883. The movement tow ant points oi accumulation in this country from July 28, 1884, to May 2, 1885, as compared with last year, has been 90,500,000 busbels against 61,370,000; meanwhile the visible supply is 18,000,000 greater. As to the future ot values, they will probably be made by the legitimate demand aud supply situation, aud however great may be the reduction in the yield, with the apparent excei-s in requ rements over last year, a market must be found outside of America for a large part of the product. While speculation is likely to establish a higher market, it can not be maintained unless these conditions prevail. There are many elements to in fluence prices, which will not be determined until harvest." In view of the foregoing it is likely that the present unsatisfactory and unsettled condition of business in general will continue until, by the natural adjustment of supply and demand in every line, the country gets again upon its normal and healthy business plane. ;ON14 FKOM I1K.NCK. A German Colonel Sellers Who is Wanted Very Uadly. Several people of Columbus are anxious to know where they can lay their hands violently upon a young man who travels under the name of Dr. O. Hauck. He is a German who is very much of the type of Colonel Mulberry Sellers, a visionary and a dreamer, with great schemes and a tongue able to make them appear plausible. Mr. Hauck had been in Columbus some weeks before his sudden and myste rious disappearance t i nlay or Saturday. He bad mauaued the roller skating drill corps of the Pugh Videttes, and the very successful appearances of thoxe accomplished warriors at the Park rink and at Newark were made under his auspices. He had, in fact, completely won tbe confidence of the company, and thev had advanced him $50 for which they now mourn as those who have not hope. Another scheme of Lhe departed doctor was the Turkish bath racket, lie seems to have had some skill in administering hot steam and the other comforts of the lurkish bath, and was adept at what he called the massage treatment. At anv rate, he made several very reputable physicians of Columbus think he was something great on rubbing patients for various complaints, and they recommended him. He went with these recom mendations to Mrs. Hanna, the lady who keeps the Turkish bath-rooms on East Long street, near Fourth, and proposed to buy her out. This was a week ago Satur-dav. She desired to learn the art of the "massaue" treatment aud he kindly agreed to teach her fur 5100. She paid him 525, and had almost completed arrangements to sell her place to him, he to pay lor it as last as ne made mo oey enough, the lessons to count for $100. But friends who had heard something of him persuaded Mrs. Hanna to pause be fore uivinic up the key. In the meantime the doctor bad distributed bills all over the city setting forth the wonderful effect of his method of administering Turkish baths. Several customers called, but the doctor did rot appear. This went on all last week. Mrs. liauna slid not receive her lessons, and when she called at his boardinii-houte on bouth trout street Saturday she found that he had lied. Two more parties regret the doctor's sudden leave-taking. One is the manager of the Carlsbad Ladies' orchestra aud the other is the manager of the fark rink. Dr. Hauck had engaged tbe orchestra to play at the rink tonight, for which he was to pay $30. Hprr Sand, the manager, had made partial arrangements to leave today with his musicians, but at some expense and trouble put them off and had everything ready to stay. The Park rink people, counting upou the engagement, will also lose considerauie Dy menon-appearance of the doctor. The hero of this true tale seems to have added to his other accomplishments the blandishments of the masher. At the boardiua-house which was honored with his patronage ho succeeded in impressing the cook to such an exieni mat sne iook down the stocking in which she had been keeping her hard earned savings and showered it all upon him S15. It should be said to his credit that he paid this back again just before leaving. To a Bad Knd. Mamie Walker and Clara Brecholder wero arrested by Officers Bercaw and Collier late last night, charged with being drunk and disorderly. The Brecholder srirl has been in Madam Scolield's house , . :i i : -1 . i Out one wees, ana wan one a gin nigmy respected in social circles in this city. She has rapidly lowered herself, and it 18 to be hoped that her arre9t last nfaht will bring her to her right senses. The names given above are, of course, assumed. OUie and Lizzie Watson, two denizens of South Seventh street, were run in by Bercaw and Collier for louering last night. TBE WKA1 IIKK.
